DRAW! Magazine NO.36 ON SALE NOW!

Draw #36 From Deadpool to the Infinity Countdown, Mike Hawthorne has continued his upward trajectory to become one of today’s best mainstream comics artists. In Draw! #36, Hawthorne slices, dices, and dishes on what it takes to get to the top, and how he creates the razor-sharp imagery that got him there! Next, Draw! travels north of the border to catch up with Shuster Award-winning artist Yanick Paquette (Wonder Woman: Earth One, Batman Incorporated, and Swamp Thing), as he reveal the techniques and working methods behind his remarkable style. Plus, regular columnist Jerry Ordway continues demonstrating the “Ord-Way” of creating comics, Jamar Nicholas reviews the latest art supplies, and we present the latest installment of Comic Art Bootcamp by Bret Blevins and Draw! editor Mike Manley! NOTE: Contains nudity for figure-drawing instruction; suggested for Mature Readers Only.
